Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Ice water as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a food processor, add flour and salt, pulse to mix.
- Next, add coconut oil and lemon juice, pulsing until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture sticks together when pressed. If the dough gets too wet, harden in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
- Roll out the dough between two layers of cling wrap. Carefully peel off one layer of cling wrap, flip into a 9-inch ungreased pie tin. Be sure the dough reaches the pie tin’s edges (to prevent it from sliding down the sides). Pinch the edges if desired and prick the dough with a fork.
- Add a piece of parchment paper to the bottom of the pie tin (on top of the dough) and add pie weights or dried beans to keep it from puffing while baking.
- Bake pie crust at 350F for 30 minutes with pie weights and parchment paper. Remove pie weights and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. Let the pie crust cool.
